Your naked feet will love you… visualize the hot floors and regular warmth all through the house on a cold winter morning… no cold drafts passing through to make you shiver.

Listen to the silence… Because of the broad walls, annoying neighborhood noises like barking dogs, planes flying overhead and early morning lawn mowers are decreased to a whisper. Just visualize your family sleeping peacefully through the noisiest of thunderstorms.

Relax more… When the utility bills arrive in the mail, you will be surprised to find that they are half of what you were expecting. With the extra money that is left over at the end of the month, you can finally save for that dream vacation.

What are Insulated Concrete Forms?

Insulated Concrete Forms

Insulated concrete forms are made from polystyrene. They are designed to hold concrete in place during the initial pour and remain in place to provide thermal insulation. The forms are stacked, much like Legos, to form the exterior walls. Then, rebar is added to give the walls strength and the concrete is poured between the foam panels.

The insulating capacity of expanded polystyrene, coupled with the structural integrity of reinforced concrete, is a powerful combination. These walls are stronger, safer, quieter and highly energy-efficient. It is the perfect substitute for concrete block, wood framing, traditional poured concrete walls, and any other typical material used in construction. It complies and exceeds all applicable building standards and, not to mention, is environmentally friendly.

People everywhere are raving about Insulated Concrete Forms homes… why?

Once you have lived in an Insulated Concrete Forms home, you will certainly never dream of going back to the flimsiness of a wood-framed house. The difference in quality is like comparing a Mercedes to a Kia. There are so many more reasons not to settle for just any home. You will enjoy: A high quality and energy efficient home. A sound resistant home. Lower utility bills. No drafts or cold spots. High fire resistance. Healthy air environment. Tornado resistance. No rot, decay or moldor. Lesser insurance premiums.

Can I still build my dream house?

Your Insulated Concrete Forms home can look exactly like you want it to look, like any other home, for nearly the same cost as the wood house “Bob the Builder” wants to build for you. From the outside, Insulated Concrete Forms homes look the same as wood framed homes since all finishes, such as brick, stucco and siding, can be used. On the inside, homeowners like the broader walls that provide deep interior window sills for use as window display areas.
